An Error in the Logic

While I agree with the thought that there is no single specific form of structural discrimination that is superior to others (still I don’t want to deny the specifics of individual forms of discrimination like e.g. the special global segregation of racism compared to most other forms of discrimination), I do think, we can look for a similarity they all share – which I see as the logic of power, dominance, concurrence.

That means for my practical endeavors: there is no alternative to simply doing it different, because a good life for all is not possible under this logic. So we need to start from scratch. But first, we need to wipe the board. Try to transcend subjectivity through diverse representation. And then try to build new structures, alternatives to the old ones, based on the logic of solidarity instead. The Zapatistas taught us where to go: Let’s start with an education system and a medical system. Together with an economical/ecommonical (i.e. “distribution of resources”) system those could be the necessary building blocks for a stable alternative to Babylon. If we really want to start organizing, let’s maybe try to start there.
